LetsTransport Nets $22 Mn To Fuel Its Logistics Solutions Offerings

Trucking aggregator startup LetsTransport has raised $22 Mn (around INR 183 Cr) as a part of its Series E funding round led by its existing investor Bertelsmann India Investments.

The round also saw participation from Rebright Partners, NB Ventures, ALES Global, Stride Ventures and CAC Capital, among others.

Last week, Inc42 was the first to report that LetsTransport would be raising $13.5 Mn in a mix of equity and debt infusion from Bertelsmann.

The company plans to deploy the fresh proceeds to boost its growth and goals to aggregate India’s 10 Mn+ fragmented truckers. Besides, the funds will also be used to expand market presence, scaling up profitability goals and fuelling its suite of logistics services.

LetsTransport’s cofounder and CEO Pushkar Singh said, “We believe ourselves to be an enablement layer by creating products which become a bridge between India’s vision of making logistics competitive and stakeholders proactively looking for upgradation… This latest funding round not only fuels our growth but also reaffirms our shared vision of transforming the logistics industry.”

The startup claims to have served over 200 enterprises till date and counts the likes of Flipkart, CocaCola, Amazon, Bisleri, and Nestle among its clients. It has a presence in major Indian cities like Delhi NCR, Chennai, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, and Hyderabad. 

Last year, LetsTransport bagged $25 Mn in a round led by Bertelsmann India, which contributed $20 Mn.
